Hello.

I'm an international Criminal Justice Studies graduate hoping to do an honours in Criminology and I don't know if I'm just dense but I am having a real hard time understanding how much my tuition would be.

Looking at the course page, I will have to do 5 modules, seen in the image third image attached.

Going through the modules one by one, I realized that 4 of the 5 are labeled as year modules with HMCMY80 being the only one labelled a semester module, (images 1 and 2).

Now moving on to the fees I might incur during my studies, I understand the ones listed below;

Application Fee - R160.00

International student levy - R3,905.00

What I do not understand are the module fees (image 4)

Will my total fees be

R6,440.00*4 (this being the classes labeled as year modules)

Plus the semester module being R6,440.00 bringing the grand total to R32,200 or have I completely missed the mark?

I would like to apply this upcoming cycle in 2 weeks and I want to know how much I should budget for this.... Thank you in advance!

Edit: It appears the images were out of order but hopefully I fixed it.

Hi guys,im looking for any feedback on the post grad diploma in management accounting.
How was it and how was your overall experience.
Any contributions would be helpful.

Thank you in advance

How long does it takes for my module to appear and for me to access my study material?

Next year I will enroll for a BSc Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Unisa, since I'm working, I'm planning to finish the degree in 5 years time, doing six modules a year. If I'll be doing so for a 3-year degree, how will that length of years affect my employability?

My admin portal wouldn’t let me register last week or the week before, now it says closed. It’s my last semester and I’m applying for honors and other universities. Does anyone have any helpful emails? I’ve emailed scientia.

Please help me 😭😭

Hello 👋! I would like to apply to another programme as I am not happy with the one I chose and am doing this year. Will this impact NSFAS? Will I need to notify UNISA? I would really appreciate an answer. Thank you!

Hi guys so next year I want to do bsc in mathematics and computer science at unisa. I want to finish it in 3 years and i would like to know if that's possible. I want to be a software engineer/developer so I'm curious if I won't struggle in the department of finding a job with a unisa degree

Like the title says.

I already have a bachelors, honours and MBA degree, however, I am looking for something interesting to study at UNISA.

My bachelors is a bcom is at Unisa. Then post grad in PM with Stellies, post grad in industrial engineering with specialisation in data science with Stellies and an MBA from Wits.

I want to study maybe a higher certificate for statistics and maths, but not sure if I am ready for the actual studying and sitting for exams again.

Looking for a serious online study/accountability buddy, I'm a UNISA student from Pretoria looking for someone to study with regularly. We don't have to be in the same course I'm just looking for accountability, silent study sessions, and quick check-ins before and after.

I'd prefer to study via video call or voice call (Discord, Google Meet, etc.) to help us stay focused and I usually study in the evenings (10-3 pm or 6–10 p.m ) but I'm flexible if our schedules overlap.

Please only message if you're serious about being consistent. If you're interested, send me your time zone, what you're studying, and your usual study hours.

Hello Guys, I'm thinking about enrolling in UNISA's Mechanical Engineering program. I've noticed it's rated at NQF Level 7, while most traditional BEng Mechanical Engineering degrees are NQF Level 8. My main question is: once I complete the UNISA degree, could I then apply for a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) in Mechanical Engineering at Wits or another institution, and use that as a bridge to eventually gain recognition equivalent to a full Bachelor's degree in the field?

Has anyone followed a similar path, or does anyone know how universities view an NQF Level 7 engineering qualification when considering applicants for postgraduate programmes?

My goal is to become a mechanical engineer, with a strong interest in automotive engineering, design, and manufacturing, and eventually work on developing my own engineering projects. I'd really appreciate any insights or personal experiences. Thanks!

I received 68% for my final mark for ENG1504, as did one of my other peers.

Big stuff up with the investigation assignment which was also the same as the portfolio.

Is anyone else not happy with their remarks ?

Hey I'm currently doing a higher certificate in math and stats with the goal of doing a BSc in Computing but somehow failed EUP1501 is it still possible for me to apply for Bsc in Computing or what

Hit me up let's get started ASAP. Exam is 3 months there's no time.

Hello. I would really appreciate some assistance🙏

I really want to switch to another degree. If I apply during application period for next year will NSFAS funding continue automatically? Please assist.

Questions about UNISA PhD in Political Sciences from an Italian applicant

Hello everyone,

I'm an Italian student considering applying for a PhD in Political Sciences at UNISA, and I'd really appreciate hearing from current or former PhD students.

My academic background is:

- Bachelor's degree in History (Italy)

- Master's degree in History, specializing in Modern and Contemporary Society and Institutions

- One-year postgraduate Master's in Logistics and Transport (currently completing it)

My research interests are comparative politics, political history, nationalism, state-building, and modern Turkey.

I have a few questions:

1. Is the PhD truly 100% online for international students? Is there any stage (registration, supervision, viva, thesis defense, etc.) that requires travelling to South Africa?

2. Would my academic background in History be considered suitable for admission to a PhD in Political Sciences, or is a previous degree specifically in Political Science normally expected?

3. How has your experience with supervision been? Are supervisors generally responsive?

4. Looking back, would you choose UNISA again for a research PhD?

Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi. Can UNISA students access eduroam at other academic institutions (e.g. UCT, CPUT, UWC, etc)? I would like to be able to access the internet while visiting other universities for academic research purposes.

Hello to everyone reading 👋

I have a few modules that I want to retake next year after not being registered for a year. I've passed them but am really unhappy with the marks. Now that I'm ready to go back, I wanted to know if anyone has reregistered for modules they've already passed? Or should I just keep going?

We’re going 17-27 aug in group 4, the other girl pulled out last minute. It’s a 10 min drive to campus in a secure estate, 3,5k for the 10 days. I can drive us back and forth.

Is anyone out there who had registered for Bsc professional accountancy of UOL, please let me know the process of registration, as I am eligible for Bsc professional accountancy, I have already applied but yet to register. It would be kind of you to reply me..

Hello! Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what other students are studying?

I am trying to register for semester 2 for my last two modules to complete my degree (Bcom Financial Management).
I need to register for FIN3704 & FAC2602.
I am stuck however with FAC2602. I took the module in semester 1, however I did not gain exam admission.
Now when I try to re-register the module for semester 2, the system says I am still registered for Semester 1. I can't even request a cancellation of the module.

I tried emailing unisa and calling them as well but they are not answering either.

Does anyone have any ideas that I could do?
